No, just the fronts. For regular road use I'm hoping this will provide enough improvement. The T5 has the worst brakes – or worst feeling brakes – I've had in a car for years!

They stop fairly well, but there's almost no pedal feel in these cars.

Glad Im not the only one thinking that, also never liked the brake feel&responsivness of my car. Even on braided hoses and fresh&good brake fluid it was always a bit "meh", maybe because the weight of the car. I cant complain on actual stopping power, but feeling itself is odd, yes.

Markos01 those calipers look good! Yeh update here once you get them on after they have bedded to see the difference, but keeping in mind that your current ones would be worn anyway.
Agreed on the brake feel here, its quite numb but certainly does stop quickly though. both with my 300's previously and 320's now. My partner has a drive in mine every now and then instead of her 1.4 corsa and takes her a bit to get used to the braking as it comes on pretty quickly.

Will do but mine probably won't go on for a while, gotta get the C70 back on the road and off the driveway first.
